N.J. officials propose ban on Brazilian wax

A state proposal to ban genital waxing, known as a Brazilian wax, was prompted after two clients of a New Jersey salon were injured and hospitalized, according to a report by the Philadelphia Daily News. One client filed a lawsuit.

New Jersey officials say that current law allows for the waxing of the face, neck, arms, legs and abdomen. Genital waxing has never been allowed, according to the report, but the legal language was unclear.

The Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling will evaluate the proposal on April 14, according to the report.
